Lyrics Simple Minds

Simple Minds

Sanctify Yourself

Is this the age of the thunder and rage

Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet

If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another

The crossroad above is where we meet

I shout out for shelter, I need you for something

The whole world is out, they're all on the street

Control yourself, love is all you need

Control yourself, in your eyes

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Be apart of me, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, set yourself free

In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision

Sweet miracles and strange circumstances

I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down

On the big beat that life-long romance is

You've got a gun in your hand, you're making self plans

Stay with me all through the night

Control yourself, love is all you need

Control yourself, open up your heart

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Be apart of me, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, set yourself free

You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl

Sweet victims of poor circumstances

But you can pour back the love, sweeping down from above

Giving hope and making more chances

Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday

You'll come back down here and show me the way

Control yourself, love is all you need

Control yourself, open up your heart

Open up your heart

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, set yourself free
